Abstract

Digitizing curriculum has become a necessity in the digital age. Therefore, we should prepare preservice teachers to face these changes. In the light of this, the researcher developed an electronic course in science methodology based on blended learning and active learning strategies, under the supervision of the National Center of Electronic learning in the supreme council of universities. To assess the course effectiveness in developing scientific enlightenment and cognitive performance among preservice science teachers in the colleges of Education, the researcher developed a cognitive test of scientific enlightenment, an attitude scale, and teaching cognitive performance skills test, and they were administered pre and post treatment on the sample of the study. Statistical analysis of data showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the sample of the study on the three tests in favor of the post treatment. The results affirm the effectiveness of the electronic course in developing scientific enlightenment and cognitive performance among preservice science teachers in the colleges of Education. This study recommends using electronic courses, and the necessity of digitizing curricula, in addition to training pre-service and in-service teachers on using active learning and different aspects of scientific enlightenment in order to have more capable and contemporary generations.
